Our district and surrounding districts in Iowa need your help. The legislators are preparing to vote on the Supplemental State Aid (SSA). Senators and Representatives are discussing the funding this week. The SSA is the funding stream that helps our districts function. It helps with salaries and it helps with district bills such as heating and lighting. The proposed Legislative increase for districts is a 2.5% increase when the inflation costs are 7%. With the inflation and sales tax growth, the state could provide more to public schools. Pass the word along that the Governor's budget is required to have a 4% revenue growth and a 2% expenditure growth. Districts would ask the same for the public education budget. This amount would help sustain our districts in the state. A 4% SSA is easily affordable even with tax cuts. Now is the time to call and email your legislators to help pass an SSA for 4%. Please pass this along to others to help contact our legislators. Thank you for your help.

Mask Update Information with the recent Arc of Iowa 8th Circuit Ruling- Ahler’s Law Firm The Fairfield CSD is dedicated to continuing its educational programs in a safe and supportive environment. The recent Arc of Iowa 8th Circuit ruling regarding mask mandates has created more uncertainty for our community amidst a record wave of illness and infection spurred by the omicron variant of the coronavirus. As of January 25, 2022, our District had 176 of staff and student absences due to illness. This is concerningly high – even for the time of year. As these numbers continue to climb, it threatens our ability to remain open and deliver the quality educational programs that are essential to our students and our community. We continue to strongly recommend and encourage ALL students and employees to wear masks based largely on the CDC’s strong recommendation that face masks be worn in schools, regardless of a person's vaccination status, as well as the guidance provided to our District by state and local public health experts. Furthermore, our obligation to persons in our community and school buildings with certain disabilities and conditions requires us to take the pragmatic approach at this time of record illness and community spread. We will continue to monitor our COVID-19 data and coordinate with public health experts. As a District we will make adjustments to our health and safety protocols as the circumstances change. We appreciate your continued support and collaboration in keeping our school community safe. Bottom line: The district strongly recommends the continuation of masks for the safety of all.
